Migrane triggers vary from person to person. My triggers are MSG (used to flavor chinese food and all types of pre-packaged snacks), bananas, nitrates (found in hot dogs and lunch meats), and alcohol.

Typically your doctor will have you eliminate peanut butter, chocolate, caffeine and eggs if I remember correctly. I happen to live off of all but the eggs so luckily other factors trigger my migraines. :)You might want to check out this website. It has a huge list of what you should and shouldn't eat for migraine sufferers.http://altmedicine.about.com/od/popularh...

About 1/3 of all migraine sufferers are helped by avoiding certain foods or drugs. The following list includes the most common problem foods. Monosodium Glutamate (MSG), also labeled Autolyzed Yeast Extract, Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein, or Natural Flavoring: Major sources of MSG include certain soups, Chinese food and "fast" food, soy sauce, yeast, yeast extract, meat tenderizers (Accent), and seasoned salt. Many salad dressings also contain MSG. We advise you not to frequent restaurants that are unable to eliminate MSG from their food. If you turn red after eating something, it may have MSG in it. Headaches an hour or so after eating is the most common timing.Sulfites (Potassium Metabisulfite). Used as a preservative on salads, seafood, avocado dip. Found naturally in wine and beer. Usually causes asthma symptoms, but can also cause headache.Alcohol. Red wine, Beer, etc. Red wine is the most likely and vodka is the least likely alcoholic beverage to cause a migraine. Tension headaches may be relieved by alcohol, as opposed to migraine which is often worsened by alcohol. Chocolate. Includes carob. Chocolate may cause a delayed effect -- the caffeine in chocolate prevents an early headache.Cheeses, especially ripened or aged cheese (Colby, Roquefort, Brie, Gruyere, Cheddar, Bleu Cheese, Mozzarella, Parmesan, Boursalt, Romano). Cheeses less likely to trigger headache are cottage cheese and American cheese. Pizza may be a problem food. Headaches about 1 or 2 hours after eating are common pattern.Caffeine. This is complicated. Overuse of caffeine may increase headaches via rebound. Some very sensitive people may develop rebound from as little as 30 mg, but in most people it takes 500 mg of caffeine/day (5 cups coffee). Caffeine Content: cup of coffee 100 mg/cup
"decaf" coffee 4 mg/cup
Tea 40 mg/cup
Chocolate 10 mg/ounce
Nitrates -- found in meat and certain medications for blood pressure and chest pain. Examples of foods are bacon, packaged lunch meats, sausage, hot dogs. Nitroglycerin, Isordil are examples of medications.

Everyone is different, and you probably won't have to eliminate everything listed here. If you do, you'll have a tough time finding something to eat! Aged foods are often especially bad. My list includes: MSG, red wine (that's the only alcohol that bothers me), cheese, yogurt, sometimes nuts. Also some coffee can help while too much can make it much worse. Also, if you're considering what causes your headaches, florescent lighting can do it, as can any bright light shining directly in your eyes, or any strobing light. Hormones and stress can both definitely have a big impact on migraines, as can sudden changes in air pressure and weather.

Feverfew is great against headaches.
Melissa and chamomille tea is good too.
Caffeine , chocolates, and some salty foods can provoke a headache but it can be other things.
Try to see what have you done(stress) and eat when you have had one.My best whishes
